Reviews

[Jim Marsh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was very quick and concise. It offers many practical insights and observations from dress to spoken and body language.

I think every high school student should review this book, or something similar to it before interviewing, doing a presentation or beginning dating.

There was some interesting information. I pesonally found it a bit dated and sexist. I did like the summary at the end of each chapters.
